Polar CGen Coupon Generator 2026: Automated PCB Test Coupon Generation

CGen Coupon Generator is Polar Instruments’ software for automating the creation of PCB test coupons used for impedance and insertion loss verification. The 2026 release includes version CGen 2601 (announced January 2026) and the CGen 2602 update (shipping February 2026) .

Key Updates in 2026

CGen 2602 (Latest Release)

The February 2026 update fixes a text rendering bug and provides better support for locales that use a “comma” as a decimal separator .

Core Capabilities

Feature Description
Automated Coupon Generation Replaces manual or scripted coupon creation with a simple four-stage process: import/create stackup, select coupon/test probe, preview/edits, export Gerber/drill files
Stackup Import Import stackup data from Speedstack PCB, Speedstack Si, or from Si8000m/Si9000e field solver structures
Coupon Styles Supports impedance coupons (CGen PCB) and insertion loss coupons for SET2DIL, SPP, and Delta-L 4.0 (CGen Si)
Real-Time Editing Interactive preview and editing of coupon properties before Gerber export
Export Formats Generates Gerber RS-274X and NC drill files
CITS Probe Support Pre-defined probe pitch options for Polar CITS impedance measurement systems

Editions

  • CGen PCB: Impedance coupon generation for controlled impedance verification

  • CGen Si: Includes all CGen PCB features plus insertion loss coupon capability (Delta-L, SET2DIL, SPP)

Workflow Integration

CGen integrates directly with:

  • Speedstack Si: For stackup design and documentation

  • Si9000e: For insertion loss field solver calculations

  • CITS Test Systems: For probe compatibility and quality verification

This creates a seamless process from stackup design to coupon generation, reducing manual effort and minimizing the risk of human error .
